Chapter 546 Enter the fish market
The love of the island people for tuna is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, 1/3 of the world's tuna is caught by the island fishermen every year, in the words of the island people themselves: "90% of the world's tuna are happy to enter the belly of the island people". Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is not far from ten.
When Xiao Peng arrived at the Tsukiji Fish Market, it was not yet two o'clock in the morning, but there were already many people waiting here. Men and women, every country has it, after all, there are only 120 places to visit every day. If you go late, you won't be allowed to visit. During the tourist season, even before two o'clock, the 120 places for the tour are filled.
Xiao Peng lined up in line, and the staff of the market used counters to count the number of people every once in a while. didn't wait long, the staff walked out, the queue was full, and people entered the market waiting area, Xiao Peng followed in, and a staff member handed Xiao Peng a vest and a visit guide. The vest is divided into two colors, green and blue, 120 people visit in two batches, the first 60 people visit at 5:25-5:50, and the last 60 people visit at 5:50-6:15, Xiao Peng is the first batch, and can occupy a good position in the divided observation area.
Although the waiting hall is indoors, Xiao Peng really feels that it is colder here than outside, because it is close to the frozen tuna auction area, and the temperature is colder than outside.
Seeing that other people are very experienced, sitting on the ground with food and drinks, some taking out books from their pockets and saying that they are 100~10,000 \ small!, some are swiping their mobile phones, and some people are directly asleep. Xiao Peng found a corner against the wall and sat down, leaning against the corner of the wall and closing his eyes to recuperate.
"Excuse me, is there anyone here?" Xiao Peng just closed his eyes not long ago, he heard a female voice ask himself in English, Xiao Peng opened his eyes, there were two girls standing in front of him, but they were yellow, one was wearing a light down and a ski cap, and the other girl was wearing a khaki windbreaker with long hair fluttering, and the two were looking at the empty seat next to Xiao Peng. Xiao Peng smiled and said in English: "No one, just sit down." Xiao Peng couldn't tell whether this was a Chinese or an island or a stick, looking at the color of the vests on their bodies, it was the 60 people who arrived later, and Xiao Peng was the 60 people who arrived first.
Xiao Peng continued to close his eyes to recuperate, but heard the two little girls next to him start chattering, still speaking Huaxia.
"That gang was so annoying just now, are all the men of the island country so shameless?"
"It's okay, they can't get in again. It's going to be a long time since we've finished watching the auction, and they won't be waiting that long outside. β
"It's all your fault, I have to come to the tuna auction. What is there to see about the fish sellers. β
"Didn't you say you were coming, and now you blame meγγγγγγ β
"Okay, okay. You said that who is next to you is from which country, and he looks a little handsome. A girl looked at Xiao Peng and asked in a low voice.
Another girl looked at Xiao Peng: "It's either a Huaxia person or a stick." β
"How do you know?"
"Islanders don't speak English that standardlyγγγγγγ β
The islanders speak English and can make jokes all over the world. It is said that there is no ridicule if there is no comparison, and to objectively evaluate the English proficiency of the island people, you have to take the data to speak, the TOEFL score of the island country in 2015 ranked fifth from the bottom among the 30 countries and regions in Asia, only slightly higher than Afghanistan, Cambodia, Laos and Tanjikistanγγγγγγ
In terms of oral language, island countries have been at the bottom for many years, and this bottom is not the bottom of Asia, but the bottom of the world. There is a well-known joke that goes like this: At a UN meeting, the representative of the island country made a speech, and after chattering for a long time, the representative of the United States could not stand it and said to the representative of the island country: Can you speak English? The representative of the island country replied with a puzzled face: "What I am talking about is Englishγγγγγγ β
What is even more ironic is that the island country has the highest proportion of foreign English teachers in the world! The government of the island country, which is willing to spend money on education, began to introduce foreign teachers in 1987, and all public middle schools in the island country have foreign English teachers! However, the English level of the island country is still a scumbag.
In a word, the English of the islanders is understood only by the islanders themselves.
Xiao Peng couldn't help it when he heard it, opened his eyes and smiled: "Okay, I'm really not a stick." β
"Oh, you're from Huaxia too, where are you from Huaxia?" asked the girl in the beanie.
Xiao Peng introduced himself: "My name is Xiao Peng, from Qindao, what about you?"
"Yes, yes, we are all from Kyoto, my name is Cui Antong, I am from Ningdu, her name is Zhang Shirou, I am from Qiantang, we are college classmates, let's travel together. The plush hat girl said crackling like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
Zhang Shirou poked Cui Antong and motioned her to say less. After all, when you go out, you must learn to protect yourself, and you can't say anything when you see people.
Xiao Peng smiled and didn't speak, after all, everyone must have a sense of self-protection. Zhang Shirou was right to do this.
However, Cui Antong signaled to Zhang Shirou that there was nothing wrong: "Xiaorou, it's okay, Brother Xiao Peng doesn't look like a bad person." β
When Xiao Peng heard this, he almost squirted: "Little sister, the bad guy doesn't say that he is a bad person, you can't just look at the person's appearance and make random comments, brother, I will send you a word, you must remember that the most ruthless treatment of the Chinese is the Chinese themselves, and more than half of the crimes against the Chinese in Tokyo were committed by the Chinese themselves." β
Cui Antong blinked his eyes wide, thought about it for a long time, and pouted: "Look at your age is not as old as me, what kind of big brother are you pretending." β
Xiao Peng smiled: "I'm 25 years old." It's definitely older than college students. β
"Liar!" Cui Antong's eyes widened: "You look much younger than me, okay." β
"I can only say that I look young. Xiao Peng said. "You can't let me show you your passport. β
Cui Antong smiled: "Okay, I believe you, do you work in the island country?"
"Oh, why do you say that?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.
Cui Antong said with a smile: "If you are a tourist, how can you dress so formally? and you are wearing a full suit, tourists will not wear it like this." β
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Okay, you guessed wrong, in fact, I'm really a tourist." I just arrived in Tokyo yesterday. That's why I came here to visit. β
"Liar, deceitful, deceitful. Cui Antong pouted and shook his head.
Xiao Peng laughed: You can say whatever you want. Let's just think I'm working here. I heard you scold the islanders just now, what's going on?"
Cui Antong replied: "Don't mention it, when we came here just now, we ran into a thug from an archipelago country, and if we weren't lining up here, it would really frighten them." β
Xiao Peng nodded and said: "This is an island country, not Huaxia, it's not safe at night, you are not afraid of any danger when you go out to play in the early morning in Huaxia, but you are in an island country, let alone early in the morning, you have to be careful when walking on the road at eight or nine o'clock." You don't have to run into anything. β
"We're here now, they're not going to come in, they're supposed to be gone when we're done. Cui Antong said.
Xiao Peng said: "It's okay, they will leave in a while." If you're scared, you can come with me when the auction is over. β
"Coming with you, you are the first half, we are the second half, how can we go with you?" Zhang Shirou, who had not spoken, also said.
Xiao Peng smiled: "Just wait until the auction is over and then leave." β
"Hey, you're here for the first time, and when the auction is over, don't you know that you can only visit for 25 minutes at a time? And you can't go anywhere, only this small section of places can be visited!" Zhang Shirou said with the guidebook. The visit guide clearly states that the visit area is only a few tens of meters away, and you can only walk along the route prescribed in the market and take a look at the auction area, and this is the end.
And it is also written in Chinese, English, and Chinese languages: Those who violate the rules of the venue such as touching the goods without authorization will be forced to leave, that is, they can only see, not touch, and they are not allowed to use flash to take pictures, because they are afraid of affecting the buyer's judgment of fish and meat, in short, there are many things!
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "I don't believe that they will carry me out at the end of my visit." β
Zhang Shijiu said: "Hey, if you want to make trouble here, you can say it in advance, we can't be with you, we don't want to see the front page of the newspaper after returning to China is "Chinese young people make trouble in the Tsukiji fish market", we still have to go to school hard." Don't let us take a back or anything. β
Xiao Peng sighed and said: "If I am driven away, then today's auction will be fun, and no one will drive me away." β
"What kind of braggadocio are you, as if you opened the Tsukiji Fish Market. Zhang Shirou said disdainfully.
"Of course I didn't drive it, but I'm going to auction off a fish here today. Xiao Peng told the truth.
Who knew that even Cui Antong didn't believe it anymore: "If you want to auction fish, will you sit here?
Xiao Peng's face was full of helplessness: "How can no one believe you if you tell the truth." Well, since you don't believe me, I'll sleep for a while, I'll still say the same thing, if you want to see the end of the auction, you can come to me. β
"Cut, who knows where you ran at that time. Zhang Shirou pursed her lips and muttered.
Xiao Peng didn't bother to explain, so he couldn't tell them, 'The king of fish in today's auction is mine,' right? If that's the case, it's strange that they can believe it! Xiao Peng simply leaned against the wall and squinted with his eyes closed.
It didn't take long for Xiao Peng to hear the sound of a whistle, Xiao Peng opened his eyes and saw that it was 5:20, which was organizing visitors to enter the venue.
5:30 a.m. is the start time of the tuna auction. Xiao Peng stood up and moved his legs and feet, and finally could see the most famous tuna auction with his own eyes!
